    Verdict

    Aquaman landed the odds at Redcar last time while The Attorney took another step forward with a victory at Lingfield to complete a double. Neither are easily overlooked but Run To Freedom’s form has tapered off recently. BIG NARSTIE struggled in the Brittannia at Ascot last time and has been gelded since but he ran well in a tougher handicap than this at the same track before that and a repeat should see Richard Spencer’s charge go close today.
